All Australians can now get the vaccine
Prime Minister Scott Morrion said national cabinet has agreed on a new no-fault indemnity scheme for GPs to give the AstraZeneca vaccine to Australians under the age of 60, who are willing to accept the extremely rare blood clot risk.

So Scomo has now decided that everyone can go get the AZ vaccine if they want it. Once again being reactive, not proactive.
I think regardless of where you stand on the issue of vaccines, it is very obvious that the Feds have failed catastrophically here. Whether you want to be vaccinated or not, that is your choice. But the fact that people that want to be vaccinated, but can't be, is an huge issue and a monumental fuck up on the Federal Government. The fact that we have places like the US condemning us, is an embarrassment.
Side note, America shouldn't be lecturing anyone about the pandemic.

There's also been a massive failure in people taking the threat seriously. Scomo has been an utter disaster, but complacency towards the virus has been widespread. No one has been putting pressure on the Federal Government. The Vic Government had to drag them kicking and screaming to even consider custom-built quarantine facilities.
This apparent sudden realisation the Fed's have been doing a horrendous job is not news to myself and many other Victorians. We've been suffering from their failures more so than in other states. Yet the mainstream and public discourse for many has been tribal politics to deflect blame from where it should have gone.
As for the AZ vaccine, a few weeks ago we're told it's too risky for under 60s. Then last week, "we're phasing it out due to safety concerns in October." A few days ago they announced they wouldn't use the J&J vaccine because it has similar safety issues. This week, "eh whatever AZ for anyone." Are people besides those that want to virtue signal on social media they have the vaccine really going to rush out? Unless they need it for their job.

Yeah, Nah.
‘Funny story’: Barnaby on Covid fine
Barnaby Joyce has copped a $200 fine after being dobbed in by a member of the public for failing to wear a mask.

This makes sense though, the over 60 thing is only out of an abundance of caution. There are people under the age willing to take the risk. I would have, and not to virtue signal. I think while they’ve got supplies and willing people, this was the smart move.
It's an act of desperation born out of necessity due to their incompetence. What I pointed out is just the layers of how ridiculous this all is when it comes to the AZ vaccine. It will stop people from taking it.
Is that in regard to the singing or the az vaccine conversation above? Or both
